I'm Ngo... My car is stock other than a recent tint job and license plate LEDs. It's a 2009 touring sport with navi. I traded my 2009 RX8 and I am very happy with my decision. I am researching for an exhaust system/high-flow cats and it is looking like a Stillen or Berk. Also, is there a recommended tuner in our area? I will probably go FI next year.

CIN, R/T Tuning, AAM for tuning.

180 for headlights unless you actually intend to do them yourself.

Also, I will probably paint my headlight's housings satin black. I have not decided on either LED stripe or angel eyes yet. I thought about both but it might be too much IMO. There are several great DIY that I've read so far... Anyone attempted it yet? I have done several on my past vehicles. But it might have to wait for a few more weeks... Six more credits until I graduate

I have a capstone project due in a few months so that is taking up most of my time.

Thanks Tigger... what shops around this area are reputable with tuning our cars? I googled it but I'm not getting much positive feedback other than regular mechanic shops around here.

I do plan on doing the headlights myself. I've crafted a few in the past. The process is similar... uninstall, bake, install LEDs, test, spray, bake, reinstall, wire...

I'm not sure man, I got a multiple cylinder misfire code, a catalyst inefficiency code and a really high idle. It also recently became very loud and I'm not sure why. I'm going to replace the spark plugs then pull the exhaust to examine it. I might have to get rid of my HFC's and do test pipes again. Feel like helping me out?
